Here is an example of one of the issues on the site:
How to Decide What Your Sexuality Is when You Are Having Trouble Figuring It All Out
Most people question their sexuality at one point in their life. If you have feelings for a member of the same sex, but you don't think you are gay/lesbian, then you probably should read this.
Steps:
1. Try to distinguish between different feelings. If you find yourself having unexpected feelings towards someone then try to work out what those feelings are. Ask yourself if you love them in a sexual way or if you just feel deep friendship.
2. Ask yourself if you have felt these feelings before. Comparing feelings to past experience can help you further understand your feelings towards someone at any given moment.
3. Don't rush yourself. You are more likely to get confused about your sexuality if you go too fast remember that there is no need to rush when considering something like your sexuality. It is better that you think first rather than deal with later consequences of rash actions.
4. Remember you are a totally unique creature. You don't need to be "gay" or "straight" when you can just be you. Love who you want to love, and try not to restrict yourself. This way, you can be flexible and hopefully comfortable whatever your sexuality.
5. Remember that whatever you decide you are not alone. There will always be someone to support you wether it be a close friend, a parent or a mentor.
6. Consider all eventualities. Don't limit yourself to being straight or gay. You could also be bisexual or you might just have had feelings for a single member of the same sex. Try to keep you mind open to all the possibilities life throws your way.
